Michael Cochrane is one of many American jazz musicians who has had far greater exposure working for European-based labels than he has in his homeland. This trio date with bassist Calvin Hill and drummer Jeff Hirschfield is an enjoyable session, focusing exclusively on nine originals by the leader. "Sit and Wait" is a fine opener, in the mold of Bud Powell and Duke Jordan. "The Seeker" begins in a pensive mood before transforming into a lively mid-tempo waltz with an infectious vamp. The breezy "New Samba" showcases Hill's fluid bass, in addition to the leader. The brisk "Ballad for Old Times Sake" blends elements of hard bop and Latin rhythm into an infectious groove, while "Early Bird" sounds as if it could have been written during the '50s heyday of bop. ~ Ken Dryden http://www.allmusic.com/album/right-now-mw0000581185
